Of figuring out what you want?

I have 10103918 things I want to do on my Monte. And I never go through with most of them, mainly because I don't know which one I want to do first.

Exhaust or stereo? Stereo or CAI? CAI or lowering springs? Lowering springs or trunk liner?

And then there is the question of Something for the car or rent?

Never know which one to do.

I have that problem, but mainly it just boils down to money. Get a list of everything you want to do to your car, in no particular order, and then when you get the funds to buy something, cross it off the list and move onto the next thing. Don't think too much about it. Eventually you'll have it all.

I think everyone on here has this problem, its a matter of money as stated above^^. Make a real list, rate it, and start saving. I got a list that I go by.
Needs: What my wife wants.
Wants: What I want.

I made myself a List, started with the most expensive things, and it was fun to cross it all off

I'm old school. It was always air filter and exhaust for us. Even if you don't get a CAI, a K & N replacement filter and some free flow mufflers automatically improve the power band.

Of course, the "U-Bend" deletion is an automatic for all 6th gen cars.

edit: Forget the "u-bend." It has been done on an '06 but the "u-bend" isn't very pronounced on the 7th gen beast.
